21 Connection with the Extension Units SCSI Connection The Digital Disk Recorder WJ-HD500A controls the extension units through the SCSI chain. 1. Connect the supplied SCSI cable between the EXT STORAGE port on the WJ-HD500A and the EXT IN port on the 1st extension unit. 2. Connect the supplied SCSI cable between the EXT OUT port on the 1st extension unit and the EXT IN port on the 2nd extension unit. Repeat connections in the same manner for all additional extension units. 3. The 3rd extension unit must be a WJ- HDE505if a further extension unit is con- nected. Use WJ-HDE500 if the 3rd unit is located at the end of the SCSI chain. Up to 6 extension units can be added. Switch Setting Data termination and SCSI number settings are required, as shown below. 1. Set the MODE switch #2 on the rear of the WJ-HD500A to ON when connecting with an extension unit. 2. Set the SCSI ID number for each unit by pressing the [–] or [+] button on the rear of the Extension Unit. 0 to 5 are applicable to the extension units. Note:SCSI ID 6 and 7 are reserved for WJ-HD500A Disk Recorder. 3. Set the termination switches on the rear of the Extension Units to ON or OFF. ON:Is applied to the extension unit located at the end of the SCSI chain. OFF:Is used for units other than the end unit.

22 Switch Settings 1. Set MODE switch #2 on the rear of the WJ-HD500A to OFF when connecting a DVD Extension Unit without an optional HDD. Set the MODE switch to ON if other Extension Units are installed in the system. 2. Set the SCSI ID and TERMINATION of the Extension Units as required. Connection with the DVD Extension Unit The WJ-HD500A Digital Disk Recorder controls the WJ- HDE510 DVD Extension Unit through the SCSI chain. The figure shows a WJ-HDE510 without an HDD. The DVD-RAM is used for backup of the data recorded on the WJ-HD500A Digital Disk Recorder. 1. Connect between the COPY port on the WJ-HD500A and the COPY IN port on the 1st DVD Extension Unit with the supplied (WJ-HDE510) SCSI cable. Plug the cable end with magnetic core into the COPY port, and the other ends into the COPY IN port. 2. Connect between the EXT STORAGE port on the WJ- HD500A and the EXT IN port on the 2nd Extension Unit with the supplied (WJ-HDE510) SCSI cable. Plug the cable end with magnetic core into the EXT STORAGE port, and the other ends into the EXT IN port. The system can be expanded by up to 6 Extension Units. To connect the other Extension Units, refer to the operating instructions of each unit for further informa- tion.

23 The figure shows the WJ-HDE510 with an HDD. The DVD-RAM is used for backup of the data recorded on the WJ-HD500A Digital Disk Recorder as well as for storing the data of the extension hard disk drive units in the system. 1. Connect between the COPY port on the WJ-HD500A and the COPY IN port on the 1st DVD Extension Unit with the supplied (WJ-HDE510) SCSI cable. Plug the cable end with magnetic core into the COPY port, and the other ends into the COPY IN port. 2. Connect between the EXT STORAGE port on the WJ-HD500A and the EXT IN port on the 1st DVD Extension Unit with the supplied (WJ-HDE510) SCSI cable. Plug the cable end with magnetic core into the EXT STORAGE port, and the other ends into the EXT IN port. Repeat the connection steps for any subsequent extension units. The system can be expanded by up to 6 Extension Units. To connect the other Extension Units, refer to the operating instructions of each unit for further information. Switch Settings 1. Set MODE switch #2 on the rear of the WJ-HD500A to ON when connecting a DVD Extension Unit with an optional HDD. 2. Set the SCSI ID for the DVD Extension Unit and each subsequent Extension Unit with the – or + selector on the rear of each Unit. 0 to 5:IDs for Extension Units. Note:SCSI ID 6 and 7 are reserved for the WJ-HD500A Digital Disk Recorder. 3. Set the termination switches on the rear of the Extension Units to ON or OFF. ON:Is applied to the extension unit located at the end of the SCSI chain. OFF:Is used for units other than the end unit.

24 Connection to PS•Data Compatible Equipment Note the following when connecting the Disk Recorder to equipment with PS•Data capability. qConnect the controller and PS •Data equipment at the ends of the PS•Data line. wSet the termination to ON for the units at both ends of the PS •Data line. Use the MODE selector on the rear of the WJ-HD500A Disk Recorder to set the termination. eUse the optional RS-485 cable for connection. Note:To be able to use PS •Data mode, the communication functions need to be set up in the PS•Data SETUP menu. MODE Selector Setting • Set DIP switch 4 of the MODE selector as follows for data termination. ON:If the disk recorder is connected at the end of the PS •Data line. OFF:If the Disk Recorder is not connected at the end of the PS •Data line. Example: • If the optional WJ-HDB502 Network Board is installed as a controller in the Disk Recorder, the system can be controlled from a PC through the Disk Recorder. Set DIP switch 3 of the MODE selector as follows for data termination. ON:If the Network Board is connected at the end of the PS •Data line. OFF:If the Network Board is not connected at the end of the PS •Data line. For a system that has no system controller and is controlled through the Disk Recorder, for example, set DIP switch 3 of the MODE selector to ON position. Note:If the system has a system controller, set DIP switch 3 to OFF position.
